Pelican has best design IMO. You can't lock up a Yeti/et al. in a truck bed, but Pelican has handles molded into their ice chests that you can put a chain through.

I literally ordered 25 of the chinese coolers myself directly from the factory & I couldn't be happier. They are a fraction of the price of any of the coolers that are mentioned above & are every bit as good as far as quality & ice retention.

i agree
before OB coolerpalooza i icked up a small pelican on sale. i let my dad use it and have never seen it again, he liked it so much. the handle design and the latches are the best around

Despite one of the previous comments against them, I like my Kysek cooler. It has a piece molded in and reinforced with metal that lets you lock it in the truck bed with a cable. They also make a bad arse insulated back pack. Their offices are in Covington.

Not exactly true. I live in Natchez and I've tried to meet up with him a couple of times to get mine which were part of the very first order and I never got a response from him when I sent him texts to meet in Port Gibson.

Lol I don't want the OB China special. Glad I didn't get in on that deal.
What you don't realize is that the factory in china that makes RTIC coolers is the same exact factory that makes the OB Chinese coolers. I 100% verified this. When you buy an RITC or a YETI, you are just paying for the name. Brand recognition is huge for their products. Props to their marketing team for all they have done but I can assure you that the chinese coolers which were sold here are poured by the same folks that pour all the RTIC coolers.

Should have spoke up. I live in Natchez too and I met him at his camp in PG and got mine. No problem

I work in the industrial supply market and Pelican is our choice.

Glad I did. No sticker but some damn good boxes. For about 28% of Academy prices.

The guy you want to talk to is Cook.
Just so you know, it's not as simple as calling them up & ordering a cooler. You have to have a business, an EIN #, setup logistics, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, etc... It's a nightmare if you aren't familiar with the process. There is a 25% tariff on anything coming from China right now. That wasn't the case when NC was selling them here. You will need to order a container full of coolers to make it worth it. Minimum order is normally 100 coolers per size and color.
They have a company here in the US that sells these coolers without all the import hassle. Half of the coolers that I got from china came in boxes with this companies logo on them. I'm not sure if they just supply to these guys or if they are just a distributor for them here in the states.

I want to be very clear that I am not affiliated with either of these places & I am not selling anything on this board. I am simply providing information.

I don't doubt that the coolers are made the same place in China. I said that I'm glad I didn't get in on the deal because I was wrongly under the assumption that most didn't even receive their coolers. Now I wish I would have bought a few.

Trust me, they do oem for rtic. They literally have it on their website.

That's because they are the same coolers NC was selling.

I haven't confirmed that it's his website but I can 100% confirm that the factory in china that I posted a link to is the factory that supplies that website and it is the factory that produces rtic as well as the coolers NC sold here.
